MESSAGE FROM THE ARTS MINISTER
The Liberal Government is a strong supporter of the arts in Tasmania, and we
continue to support this iconic cultural festival.
Ten Days on the Island has been a pioneer in Tasmania, paving the way for what is
now a large and vibrant array of festivals and events. Importantly, the festival has
evolved over a number of years and its new identity as the Tasmanian International
Arts Festival clearly articulates what it has to offer audiences.
The creative industries are a significant and growing sector for the economy and
Ten Days and the Tasmanian International Arts Festival play an important part in the
sector. It fosters talent, provides employment, engages audiences and showcases
our innovative companies and individuals in a way that helps them to pursue further
opportunities. It also attracts visitors to the state, helping to grow our economy.
The Tasmanian International Arts Festival is a vehicle for highlighting Tasmanian
artists to Australia and the rest of the world. It also brings the world to Tasmania,
with key performances and events around the state.
Importantly, the Tasmanian International Arts Festival gives Tasmanians an
opportunity for a unique cultural experience and makes Tasmania an even
greater place to live.
I look forward to the Tasmanian International Arts Festival and I hope that the
Festival’s evolution will be a sign of an exciting future ahead.
Dr Vanessa Goodwin, MLC
Minister for the Arts
MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
Looking back on the diversity and richness
of the hundreds of wonderful performances
and events which it has brought to Tasmania
over the last 14 years, Ten Days has much
to celebrate.
It is not entirely a coincidence that that
period has also witnessed in Tasmania an
unprecedented flowering of the arts in all
its forms. Ten Days has made a significant
contribution to creating the social and cultural
climate which catalysed that renaissance.
Ten Days has never been static: each festival has
been qualitatively different from the previous
one and each has had its own special character
and appeal. In the last two years the pace of
that evolution has accelerated. Ten Days has
refreshed its identity and is augmenting the main
festival with a continuous program of cultural
activities which was epitomised by the fabulous
Spiegeltent season that enlivened the Hobart
waterfront with a memorable party extending
over three weekends in 2014.
Under the leadership of our new artistic director,
David Malacari, the 2015 Tasmanian International
Arts Festival will take Ten Days yet another step
forward on its journey as it inspires and entertains
us, engages our hearts and minds and reinforces
Tasmania’s brand as a vibrant, creative cultural
centre.
The 2015 Festival should make the Tasmanian
Government, our corporate partners, our
philanthropic patrons and all our other supporters
feel proud of the contribution they are making
to Tasmania.
Sir Guy Green
Chairman, Ten Days

TASMANIAN INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL
MESSAGE FROM
THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
The 2015 program celebrates Tasmania and its
connections to the world. These connections
exist through the many cultural communities
who call it ‘home’; through the daily connections
we have across the planet, in almost every
conceivable aspect of our lives – the food we
eat, the internet searches we make, the clothes
we wear, the news we read; and have grown
from Tasmania’s position at a major vortex of
the great trading routes of the southern oceans
from where we have amassed a cultural cargo
of immeasurable wealth. Our cultural wealth is
capitalised in many ways, most visibly through
the individuals whose passion and talents turn
them into artists; artists who are unofficial
bankers for our own, sometimes secret, creativity.
Thank goodness for them, for our artists!
They entertain us, they make us cry or look
at ourselves differently; they hold mirrors to
our sometimes surprised faces, and are our
surrogates in the articulation or expression
of what it means to be human. They help us
to define ourselves and our society.
BOOK NOW AT TENDAYS.ORG.AU
The 2015 Tasmanian International Arts
Festival is full of beauty, laughter, tears and
anger. The program is riddled with vivid passions
and ambitious ideas – in dance, music, visual
arts, drama and in hard-to-define combinations
of these. Once again the Festival brings a unique
mixture of excitement and creativity to Tasmania,
offering us experiences that come direct from the
heads and hearts of the extraordinary artists who
have been assembled.
The Festival is a festival for all Tasmania and
for all Tasmanians. It provides Tasmanians with
arts experiences that all of us should expect
in our cultured and modern society. The 2015
Tasmanian International Arts Festival is not only
a reminder of just how diverse and interesting
the world is, but also a reminder of just how
diverse and interesting our own community is.

Live Live Cinema
Totally engaging
and entertaining.
T h e N a ti o na l B usi n ess Re v i e w
Before The Godfather and Apocalypse Now,
there was Dementia 13.
Revered cinema auteur Francis Ford Coppola’s
1963 directorial debut Dementia 13 is a gem of
gothic horror made on a shoestring budget, with
a script penned overnight then shot in nine days.
This is B-Grade cinema at its very best.
New Zealand’s Live Live Cinema, a crew of
actors and musicians led by musical madman
Leon Radojkovic and directed by Oliver Driver,
perform live on stage as the film screens above
them. The musicians create a rich atmospheric
score that buoys the actors’ captivating live
performance of the script as a Foley artist creates
every creeping footstep and murderous axe
blow live on stage. This is better than the movies,
this is cinema in 4-D!

HIDDEN
CITIES
Armed with a smartphone and an open mind,
dive into the unknown with Hidden Cities: an
interactive walk through the city that will lure
you into the secrets and oddities of the places
and people around you.
Familiar places will transform into captivating
virtual spaces, trite community will evolve into
a tapestry of sub-cultures and the psyche of
the city will be exposed in an unexpected way.
Hidden Cities is a promenade piece combining
technology, performance, film and music.
This world première event will expose to you
to aspects of your community, surroundings
and your own behaviour that are usually
kept hidden.

Hidden Cities is the collective work of filmmaker
Lucien Simon (AU), theatre and film maker
Ellenoor Bakker (NL), electronic artist Frederick
Rodrigues (AU/NL), and musical director Jacob Plooij

Watermark
Beneath the day-to-day life of every community
lie imprints of people’s histories; dreams that
they once held, stories they once told. Like a
faint watermark on a beautiful piece of paper,
they resound with meaning and mystery. These
imprints of the past can produce visions of new
futures, empowering people to rebuild their lives.
Queenstown has been through severe difficulties
and it is through the vision of theatre and the
power of music that local people can express
their determination to reconstruct their town.
Watermark will be developed by local people,
supported by a team of experienced theatre
workers, who will use the watermarks of the
past to see what futures lie ahead. Created
by nationally renowned theatre director Neil
Cameron, the performance will use music,
shadow puppets, songs, stories and strong
visual images to bring together the peoples’
fighting spirit.
SWAMP JUICE
Bunk Puppets
Swamp Juice is a playful puppet
experience for all ages. A delightful
and simple story about one man’s romp
through a swamp and the characters
he finds: a pair of bickering snails,
a mouse teasing a snake and a bird
feeding its chick. The action builds
until the cast leap off the stage and the audience is immersed in the
action; shadows zip around the walls and ceiling, exploding in an
unforgettable 3D experience.
Swamp Juice is the second production from acclaimed performer,
Jeff Achtem (Bunk Puppets). With recycled materials, Jeff creates
intricate and funny stories using shadow puppetry performed
in front of the screen, giving the audience a peek at how each
silhouette is made.

Teatro de los Andes
Teatro de los Andes, one of Latin America’s
finest companies, combines Bolivian music
and traditional theatre forms to create a
powerful evening of contemporary theatre.
This raw and gripping reinterpretation of
Hamlet is recreated in present-day Bolivia;
the cast stripped back to three actors, the
stage design minimal. The setting is exotic
but the central themes of Shakespeare’s work
are familiar – betrayal, corruption, revenge.
This production fizzes
with inventiveness both
in its interpretation
and in its staging.
C i v i li a n T h ea tre
This provocative performance explores the
politicised journey thousands of Bolivians
are compelled to make each year; leaving their
rural homes to seek out opportunity in the city.

Tasmania Performs
During a performance of Shakespeare’s King
Lear, a renowned elderly actor forgets his lines.
This is the beginning of his journey into the long
twilight that is Alzheimer’s. As his memory fades,
occurrences that would once have been shocking
– such as finding a sock in his soup – are no
longer questioned. His reduced living space is
modified with numerous contraptions to meet his
needs: pop up kitchen, shower, sports field and
library. Although valiantly fighting, he succumbs
to his fate and as thought slips away, feelings
grow stronger and his inner child is revived.
Performed by acclaimed Tasmanian artist Justus
Neumann, this poignant work is punctuated
by moments of genuine light-heartedness
and humour that will take the audience on a
rewarding and insightful emotional journey.
10
…a poetic and infinitely
inventive meditation on
the final stages of aging.
It is also a masterful
piece of theatre making.

“Who would you like to be today?”
Tasmania’s Terrapin Puppet Theatre’s beguiling
interactive artwork I Think I Can invites the
audience to inhabit a delightful miniature town and
become active members of the tiny community.
After completing a playful ‘Career Test’ to
personality-match you with a puppet, a tiny
alter-ego is yours to be steered through daily life.
You will make decisions for, and undertake tasks
with, your character as the puppetry is displayed
on screens surrounding the installation. As more
audience members join in, the community grows.
The townsfolk’s antics and adventures are shared
with the world via an online newspaper.
City of Hobart presents I Think I Can in Elizabeth
Mall in the heart of town, where it will capture
commuters and the community alike. In Burnie,
the work will be displayed within the community
hub of the Burnie Arts & Function Centre.
A charmingly
optimistic exploration
of responsibility,
community and place.
Terrapin Puppet Theatre and the
presentation of I Think I Can are assisted

Three cardinals are here to perform for you an elaborately
decorative puppet show depicting the most recognisable
tales from the Bible. However their puppets have gone missing,
so the cardinals are left with no choice but to step in and act
out the stories themselves on the puppets’ tiny stage.
A visual feast that examines the various meanings of belief, this
wry and reflective performance never preaches. The Cardinals
is a thoughtful and questioning theatrical work that provokes
without offending.

Big h ART Inc.
If hotel walls could talk, then Hobart’s iconic
Astor Hotel would have many a seafarer’s secret
to tell; whispered to lovers or strangers or wives
over whisky for decades. Tales of the sea –
exotic, erotic and despotic.
Madame Astor invites you to immerse yourself in
Big hART’s Blue Angel project. Dive in and book a
bed to stay overnight for the full show experience.
Explore, watch, listen, eat, sleep and dream in one
of her twenty-three rooms as this performance
piece unfolds from dusk to dawn. Drown yourself
in music, sound design, installation, video,
art, homebrew, shoeshine, beards, tattoos,
Old Spice and rope splicing as Blue Angel brings
this haunt for lovers and seafarers alive through
a unique performance experience. If you already
have a safe berth for the night, visit for the
evening and enjoy a boutique concert version
with seafarers and performers.
Big hART has been importing and exporting tall
tales and true from port cities in this collaborative
project where art is the cargo and the heart is
filled with the desire for ‘fair transport’.
Come and join a crew of real seafarers, who
will appear alongside some of the country’s
best actors and musicians.
Blue Angel will feature new work from world
renowned film maker Peter Greenaway.

Composer of the music score to Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon, Tan Dun is an extraordinary
talent who is equally at home writing for the
cinema, concert hall or opera house. The world’s
great orchestras have been lining up to perform
his music, including the Berlin Philharmonic,
London Symphony, and New York Philharmonic.
The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra is part of
a syndicate of international orchestras which has
commissioned Tan Dun’s Wolf Totem: Concerto
for Double Bass, a work which the Chinese-born
composer has described as “an elegy of the
prairie and blue skies”.
24
Noted for his dazzling use of instrumental colours,
Tan Dun is one of the world’s finest orchestrators.
Igor Stravinsky likewise knew how to conjure
up extraordinary sounds from the orchestra,
particularly in the radiantly beautiful suite from
The Firebird, and Tōru Takemitsu married
Western sounds and Eastern influences with
remarkable skill.

MUSIC
ESSENTIALLY ELGAR
In the spirit of Mostly Mozart,
Essentially Elgar focuses
primarily on a single composer:
Edward Elgar, the most loved
and most ‘English’ of English
composers. Elgar’s justly famous
Cello Concerto, written in the
aftermath of World War I, is by
turns poignant and passionate.
A tour de force for the soloist,
it has long been a favourite
with listeners. Elgar had earlier
made his name with the equally
famous Enigma Variations,
loving portraits in sound of the
composer’s nearest and dearest.
Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani…
For centuries, Italy was the
powerhouse of the musical
world. It attracted composers
from all over and the ‘Italian
style’ went global (or, as we
might say today, it went viral).
In this concert Richard Gill,
conductor and educator
extraordinaire, takes you on
a tour of Italian music of the
Baroque, with Lloyd Hudson
appearing as soloist in two
sparkling concertos by Vivaldi.
But not just Italy, you’ll get
to hear Grieg’s Holberg Suite
and Warlock’s Capriol Suite,
two classic works for string
orchestra.

Calls across
the Island
Linsey Pollak
Take a journey into the natural wonderland
of Tasmania and listen to the voices of some
of the most imperilled creatures on our planet
sing out across time.
Calls Across the Island is a series of free outdoor
concerts taking place at twilight at eight iconic
Tasmanian sites. The audience is immersed in the
beauty of sunset, accompanied by Linsey Pollak’s
live music.
Pollak is an instrument maker and composer
who challenges traditional ideas of music. He is
a master of live looping, playing and recording
in real time during his performance. Multiple
layers of music, made from the sounds of various
endangered or extinct species, create a delicate
and emotive musical performance. The sounds
cry out from the past and ask the audience to
reflect on their own place in Tasmania’s future.

TRIABUNNA

Change can be challenging. It requires us to shift
expectations and find new solutions. Change can
also bring renewal, the prospect of encountering
exciting and unimagined opportunities. Spring
Bay Mill has begun the process of converting the
old woodchip mill site at Triabunna into a centre
of environmental and cultural exchange, set
within a botanical garden.
Bronte Booth recovers discarded wood,
David Hamilton reassembles the remnant
chip pile, Ed King forges redundant rusted
machine parts, Jacob Leary redefines systems
and processes, Serena Rosevear and Isis St
Pierre reconfigure documents and their human
traces, and Tricky Walsh reconstitutes stuff into
imaginary machines.
Using the mill’s large-scale industrial
environment as its canvas, Reorder takes
advantage of this unique moment to examine
the transition from one form of enterprise to
another. Six site-specific installations have been
created in response to particular locations at
the Spring Bay Mill site, utilising found materials
and the power of this complex landscape.

Habits AND Habitat
THINGS I ONCE KNeW:
the art of patrick hall
This installation investigates our awareness of rural habitats on
the verge of change, and perhaps even extinction. Almost all
Australians live in urban settings, yet the bush has always held
an iconic status as part of the Australian identity. The contents
of the home are the guide to the human experience lived within
its rooms – the marks on the kitchen wall measuring the height
of growing children, photographs on the mantlepiece, the
contents of cupboards – provide details for a sense of history.
Things I once knew is a survey exhibition of the work of Tasmanian
artist and furniture maker Patrick Hall, representing the development
of his artistic practice from the mid-1980s to the present.
The Ronalds
Patrick and Shannon Ronald’s forensic photographic recreation
of a life-size diorama of a farmhouse provides a voyeuristic look
into another person’s habitat. The effect renders visible the dust
settling on the furniture, the patterns in the bedspread, the texture
of the papers on the shelves, the views into other rooms, and the
contrast of the sun-drenched landscape beyond the windows.
Curator: Bec Dean
Hall is best known for his elaborate, intricately crafted cabinets
that use images, sculptural elements, models, found objects and
text as vehicles for complex and layered narratives. Hall’s work has
been built around humble objects and the histories, memories and
stories they generate or evoke.
The exhibition includes 30 cabinets and wall pieces, characterised
by a high level of craftsmanship and the skilful manipulation and
combination of both materials and associations. The sequence
of works is structured loosely around the thematic, stylistic and
narrative threads in Hall’s work, such as the use of redundant
technologies, biographical elements, or more existential concerns
about time, memory and randomness.

Outside Thoughts examines critical and geographical perspectives
in relation to Australian identity. The connection between aerial
viewpoints and the national psyche – a feature of the history
of Australian landscape painting – is used as a starting point
for the exhibition. Responding to this idea in a broad sense,
curator Wes Hill has invited some of Australia’s most innovative
contemporary artists to adopt imagined ‘outside’ perspectives
in their work, linking geographical representation with evocations
of Australia’s cultural, historical and political character.

Colonial afterlives
Colonial Afterlives brings contemporary responses to the complex
legacies of British occupation from sixteen outstanding artists
living in Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, Canada
and Britain, including Tasmanian artists Julie Gough, James
Newitt, Yvonne Rees-Pagh, Geoff Parr and Michael Schlitz.
The exhibition incorporates diverse views that range from
melancholic eulogies to passionate and, at times, scathing
commentaries on the complex legacies of British occupation.
While the artists are all finely attuned to the histories and politics
of their own region, the exhibition reveals profound and sometimes
surprising connections. Ultimately, it raises larger questions
around the nature of post-colonial identity in an increasingly
globalised world.

LANDSCAPE IS
A CONVERSATION
Richard Kenton Webb
Drawing on inspiration from a range of diverse influences such as
art history, anthropology, philosophy, psychoanalysis and theology,
Richard Kempton Webb explores the subjects of colour, creativity
and the imagination. His paintings, drawings and prints are
founded in the romantic and metaphysical traditions of the great
English landscape paintings of his countrymen. This sensibility
finds its Tasmanian inflection through his encounter with the
power and strangeness of the island’s west during his residency
at Landscape Art Research Queenstown (LARQ) in 2014.
To satisfy his fascination with colour, Webb often makes his paints
from scratch. In the remote west he met Rory Wray McCann,
a retired metallurgist, who revealed the secret to extracting and
refining pigment from western Tasmanian sulphides. The resulting
rich palette of subtle, earthy and vibrant yellows was used to
manifest the works in this exhibition.

the discarded artefacts and hard detritus of human inhabitation.
Walking drawing, assemblage, mending, stitch and text provide

David Keeling
This major survey exhibition highlights the career of well-known
Australian artist David Keeling and focuses on the preoccupation
with landscape across three decades – from early metaphysical
landscapes of the mind that explore the nature/culture dichotomy;
to the politics of the contemporary landscape and its connection
to history; to more recent works that deal with particular locations
and the exploration of interior/exterior spaces.
Different times and cultural settings, combined with changing
technologies, have influenced the way artists select, conceptualise
and create their photographic work. ReViewing examines the
sphere of photography from analogue to digital, documentation,
social history and fine art.
The impetus for the exhibition is the Robinson Collection of
Devonport. The Collection of over 40,000 negatives made by Bert
Robinson and his son Albert between 1927 and the mid 1970s,
features studio portraits, images of the city, rural life and special
events on the North West Coast of Tasmania.
Four contemporary photo-media artists, Lisa Garland, Troy Ruffels,
Ilona Schneider and Brian Sollars, have been invited to create
images by referencing the photographic archives of the Collection
and the versatility and ascendency of the photographic medium
through early and contemporary photographic interpretations.
This exhibition also celebrates the 125th anniversary of the
University of Tasmania. Keeling studied at the Tasmanian
School of Art (now Tasmanian College of the Arts) in the 1970s.

MAD WOMEN
IN THE ATTIC?
The migration and settlement of any large racial group in a new
host country is complex. The complexity of the Chinese diaspora
in Australia can be seen in the distinctive and diverse Chinese
Australians living here. These categories are often reduced in the
popular imagination to a single Asian stereotype. Made in China,
Australia portrays how the different and individual processes
of acculturation have impacted in diverse ways on the work
of Chinese Australian artists.
To coincide with the 40th anniversary of International Women’s
Year and the 125th anniversary of the University of Tasmania, the
Plimsoll Gallery’s exhibition, Mad women in the attic? will reprise the
significant contributions by great female artists and writers to the
Tasmanian College of the Arts public program over three decades.
The exhibition, curated by Greg Kwok Keung Leong, questions
how the work of Chinese Australian artists is affected by the
particular Chinese Australian heritage and experiences they have
had. Some of the artists in the exhibition were born in Australia,
others travelled to Australia in the past and some are recent arrivals
which creates subtle differences that arise in the artists’ work due
to their particular relationship with the two cultures.
Made in China, Australia investigates contemporary art practices
across a range of mediums and disciplines, genders and generations.

A feminist revisioning
of the archive
A rich set of themes emerges from these women’s art: domestic
relations, sexual politics, activism, queer and racial politics,
empowerment, the gaze, portraiture, self-portraiture and
performance – the body as site of identity, vulnerability, power,
intimacy, transgression, subversion, abjection, violation and
masquerade. The curators, Mary Scott and Maria Kunda, have
invited a selection of Tasmanian and international artists and
writers to reflect upon and amplify this storehouse of female
expression to revise and re-envision these themes.

Stand Back refers to the ability to gain a different understanding
when we change our perspective. Stand Back prioritises the child’s
perspective. In art making, different techniques, patterns and
optical illusions can change an image depending on whether
we look at it closely or at a distance.
Thirteen contemporary artists explore these possibilities using a
wide range of materials, creating works that play with the visual and
physical ‘presence’ of perception. The unifying principle of the works
on show is their strength and richness. This exhibition, curated by
Josie Hurst, introduces children to an engagement with art and art
making through exposure to rich and diverse visual experiences.
Adults will also connect strongly with the powerful presence of
these artworks from some of Tasmania’s finest contemporary artists.

become a name synonymous with merging a minimalist design
aesthetic with exceptional craftsmanship. Indeco strives for a
simple elegance to its unique and innovative homeware designs,
preferring timbers, such as Huon pine, with subtle colours and
grain patterns that allow the overall design to shine through
unhindered by unnecessary ornamentation or detail.
The exhibition showcases the development of one of Australia’s

L A U N C EST O N
Artists and scientists have a long
shared fascination with studying,
recording and understanding the
human body and engaging with
human anatomy, medicine and
pathology. Artist Lauren Black

medical equipment, implements
and specimens from the R.A.
Rodda Museum of Pathology
and the Crowther Collection,
with evidence from a recent
residency in Panang, Malaysia,
an island steeped in the
traditions of Chinese medicine
and home to the oldest Chinese
medical hall of South East Asia,
revealing the unique union that
is possible between Western
and Eastern systems.

Fri 20 – Mon 23 March, dusk-10pm
talks, workshops, master classes and everything else!
Festivals aren’t just about sitting in darkened theatres, absorbing the action taking place
on stage. Festivals are a gathering of the tribes, where artists and audiences from around
the globe come together to share their creative experiences and expertise. Festivals offer
a unique opportunity for local arts practitioners and audiences to meet with touring
artists to exchange ideas, mentor one another and build lasting relationships.
Through And Another Thing... Ten Days will facilitate an array of talks, workshops,
master classes, mentoring and happenings that will extend the events and benefits
of the Tasmanian International Arts Festival for all participants and create a lasting
legacy for the 2015 festival.
For the full range of free and ticketed events please visit tendays.org.au.

Tasmanian Whisky Tours
This is a celebration of whisky from both Tasmania and around
the globe. Tasmania’s whisky industry now receives international
praise that ranks it among the finest in the world. Sullivans Cove
whisky was voted World’s Best Single Malt Whisky in March 2014
at the World Whisky Awards in London. We now invite you to join
us as we visit Tasmania’s southern distilleries, traverse some of the
most beautiful landscape in the state, meet the distillers, taste their
whisky and get up close and personal with the distillation process.
We’ll be starting with a breakfast whisky at 9.30am at the home
of Tasmanian whisky, the Lark Cellar Door. After a day’s travelling
(and sampling) we’ll be back for a whisky dinner and tastings
from around the world, specifically from the countries wherein
the festival artists have travelled. We expect there will even
be a number of them sitting at the tables among us.
So if you’re serious about whisky, we welcome you to join us on

Partnership & philanthropy
Invitation to be
part of Ten Days
Ten Days is a not for profit
organisation, and we rely
on support from a variety
of sources to ensure that
Tasmanian communities are
treated to exciting, moving and
inspiring shows. Our purpose
is to strengthen the local arts
sector and preserve Tasmania’s
place on the world stage. Since
its inception in 2001, Ten
Days has presented the works
of an outstanding range of
international, national and local
artists to audiences state-wide.
A partnership with Ten Days
is established on a mutually
beneficial foundation of shared
objectives. The donations
we receive from generous
individuals enable us to deliver
the state-wide Tasmanian
International Arts Festival, as
well as year-round events, art
exhibitions in Gallery Ten, and
the splendiferous Spiegeltent.
Our supporters get the chance
to engage with our productions
in unique and special ways.
We have a giving program to
cater for everybody and every
budget, and each donation
received is recognised on the
website and festival brochure.
Individual
Giving Programs
ISLANDERS
Ten Days’ Islanders program is
tax deductible and supports a
different aspect of the artistic
program each festival. In 2015,
Islanders will be assisting us to
deliver And Another Thing…
which gives audiences the
chance to get up close with
touring artists.
Through a range of talks,
workshops, master classes
60
and mentoring opportunities,
And Another Thing… facilitates
greater participation and
understanding of the arts
and culture through skills
development and open enquiry.
Through your support these
activities will link artists with
locals to share, exchange
and inspire creativity longterm. There are four different
islands aligning to each level of
donation: Schouten Islander,
Tasman Islander, Maria Islander
and Macquarie Islander.

PHILOS
Philos in Greek means ‘loving’
or ‘friendly’, and is at the root
of the word ‘philanthropy’.
Patrons of the Philos program
play a more significant role in
the development and support
of the festival than just ‘friends’.
They are a crucial part of the
artistic family of Tasmania,
embodied by the biennial event.
By pledging financial
support to Ten Days, Philos
Patrons demonstrate a major
commitment to nurturing
and encouraging the cultural
engagement and creativity of
Tasmanians. Philos Patrons
become significant and vital
members of the Ten Days
creative community.
PHILOS PATRONS

BEQUESTS
A bequest, or legacy, is a gift
of money and asset that you
leave in your Will. By providing
for Ten Days in your Will, you
will not only make a personal
contribution to the joy, delight
and celebration of the festival,
you will also help us to ensure
that future generations of
Tasmanian artists and audiences
benefit from your generosity.
If you feel passionately about
the impact that the arts can
have on the lives of Tasmanians
and the growth in confidence
that ensues from involvement in
making work and participating
in creativity, then your gift
will support us to continue to
present and deliver a program
that is relevant, accessible and
reflects the lives and personal
experiences of all of those who
take part.
Corporate
Partnerships
Ten Days values the quality
of each relationship it has
with our corporate partners
of all sizes. We endeavour to
exceed the expectations of
each partner by delivering
individually tailored and
mutually beneficial partnerships
with tangible business benefits
that demonstrate return on
investment.
Like the festival itself,
the Ten Days partnership
framework is unique.
The native Tasmanian
woods form the structure
and partnership levels of the
Ten Days Tree. The use of
these names reflects our aim to
develop the cultural landscape
of the Tasmanian community,
to create opportunities for
local artists and practitioners
and to nurture the creative
ecology connecting audiences
state-wide.
1. Huon Pine partners
2. Blackwood partners
3. Myrtle partners
4. Sassafras partners
5. Celery Top Pine partners
6. Blue Gum partners
Like the trees whose names
they bear, all of Ten Days’
partners play a vital role in the
ecology of the festival, allowing
the artistic program to grow.

THE
FESTIVAL
THAT STARTED
IT ALL!
It was an audacious idea, nearly fifteen years ago, to gather the world’s foremost
artists and performers together to create a festival that spanned this remote
and untamed island at the ends of the earth. Today, Tasmania is a must-see
destination for arts and festival lovers world-wide.
From off the beaten track to on the map, Ten Days has championed Tasmania’s
artists and arts communities state-wide to help create the culturally vibrant and
dynamic Tasmania we are all so proud of today.
Now, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2015 has named Tasmania one of its ‘Top 10
Regions in the World to Visit in 2015’ and recommends our biennial state-wide
arts festival, 20-29 March 2015.
We are proud of this recognition and welcome you to join us to experience a
festival like no other, in a place like nowhere else – Tasmania.
